1. What is 7th Pay Commission Pension?

The 7th Pay Commission pension is calculated as 50% of the last drawn basic pay, revised with a multiplication factor of 2.57, plus Dearness Allowance (DA). This applies to central government employees in India who retired before January 1, 2016.

• Last Basic Pay — The final basic salary drawn before retirement
• 2.57 — Multiplication factor as per 7th Pay Commission
• DA — Dearness Allowance percentage applicable

Explanation: The calculation first determines 50% of the last basic pay, then applies the 7th CPC multiplication factor, and finally adds the DA amount.
